Register for the webinar.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how people access healthcare. Telehealth and house call visits are two approaches that have helped people with disabilities access health care while avoiding the challenges of leaving their home for healthcare.
In this webinar, people with lived experience of disability will interview a panel of physicians on the most person-centered ways of delivering healthcare to people with disabilities. The webinar will include tips for patients, their families, and healthcare providers on how to make the best of telehealth or home visit opportunities where they exist. Panelists will share examples from existing programs, reflect on their experiences and challenges, outline best practices, and identify strategies to ensure culturally responsive practices and equitable opportunities for access to person-centered healthcare through telehealth or home visits.
NCAPPS webinars include ASL interpretation and live-captions in both English and Spanish. If you require any additional accommodations, please email Saska Rajcevic. Please note that some accommodation requests made less than one week before an event may not be possible.
